The town The small town with great charm Right in the heart of Sweden, at the northern tip of Lake Vättern, lies Askersund. This picturesque wooden town by the water enjoys a relaxing atmosphere all year round. Take the time to stop and experience the cobblestone squares, the cafés, and the restaurants.

But don’t for a second think that time here has come to a halt!

Askersund Harbour greets you with open arms and a wealth of restaurants and cafés, small craft stalls, exhibitions, and kiosks by the new harbour square.

The beach promenade between Askersund city centre and Lake Vättern starts from here. Take the footbridge over to the city’s island of Borgmästareholmen with its historic buildings, and enjoy this secluded spot in a central location.

Perhaps a refreshing swim at the island’s beach or a relaxing barbecue at one of the island’s barbecue pits?

Spread out your picnic blanket on the lovely green areas along the promenade and enjoy views of Stjernsund Castle and the town’s boat life out on Lake Alsen. The “Oden II” playground, the town’s beloved climbing tree, boules court, and Hagabadet swim area all invite you to play, and the mini train will take you for a ride between the harbour 4

and the scenic Heritage Centre at Stadsparken city park.

With its generous glass sections and its wonderful lake views, Sjöängen Cultural Centre offers experiences and social interaction. Every year, Sjöängen presents colourful spring and autumn programs featuring events, performing arts, and exhibitions. Sjöängen is also the perfect venue for larger meetings and conferences.

A mere stone’s throw away, new housing with unbeatable lake front views are being developed – feel the spirit of the future where the city’s roots sprout next to the old station building and the bus station square.

And, you are never more than a block or two away from the old alleys, the quaint squares, and the unique shops that reveal small-town life by the water.

Askersund Country Church A devastating lightning strike in 1661 set fire to Askersund’s medieval wooden church. A new church was erected, the Country Church, its grand silhouette rising at the southern entrance to Askersund. Called the “Knight Island Church of the Countryside” by the poet Verner von Heidenstam, the church was completed in 1670 and is a fine example of Swedish 17th century imperial architecture. The church has links to the Oxenstierna-Soop family at Stjernsund Castle south of Askersund.

During the summer, the church doors open up to welcome its visitors.

Nature nearby Askersund has not just one but two nature reserves within walking distance of the town centre. From Väderkvarnsbacken, you have wonderful views of the town, with Stjernsund Castle on the shore on the other side of the lake. Scenic Stadsparken is reminiscent of Tiveden with its wild nature, and can be reached via accessible paths. Stadsparken features a Heritage Centre with historic buildings from the area, dining, and a mini zoo.You also find a geocaching trail perfect for families with young children.You can walk here along the promenade or take the mini train from the harbour. During the summer, the train runs several times daily.

Marina & RV Park “Askersunds Citycamp & Gästhamn” (RV Park & Marina) is a popular destination for motorhomes, caravans, and boats. In addition to a café, lighter dishes, and a fuel jetty, you can rent bikes and canoes here.

Here you have lovely views of the harbour and the boat life – all within

easy walking distance from activities, small town shopping, and picturesque leisure areas.

The RV park welcomes you from early spring until late autumn. Enjoy the tranquillity and charm of the small town – as well as first class events.

Join us and claim your spot!

Taste Askersund!

Good French cheeses, cold beer, exquisite chocolate pralines and tasty Askersund ice cream. Askersund’s food artisans treat you to genuine culinary sensations! Here you can taste the joy of creation, authenticity, and quality – and you get to meet the stories and the people behind the culinary craft.

Inside the prestigious Askersund Brewery you can enjoy a first-class beer tasting in a pleasant atmosphere.

A whiff of French latitudes greets you at Madame Nature, where an excellent assortment of tasty cheeses and French delicacies have their given space in the town’s old loading warehouse. Venus Choklad

The Culture Wonderful moments in Askersund Get a feel of Askersund’s culture! Do you like fine cars, or are you curious about local artisan food? Do you enjoy beautiful artwork, industrial history or castle surroundings?

Perhaps you’re curious about the great shows and performing arts? Creativity has many faces, and Askersund offers a wide variety of cultural experiences all year round.

Beautiful cars are a well-known feature in Askersund. The Car & Bike Meet and the Vintage Car Club Tuesday meets are just a few of all the great opportunities to see unique cars being tenderly cared for.

The mill in the heart of the village

Interested in heritage buildings and local history? Åmmeberg, the neighbouring town to the mining village of Zinkgruvan, has historic buildings and an old railway embankment that testify to the village’s former prominence as a shipping port for ore mined in Zinkgruvan.

Torell’s Promenade leads you past Belgian-style buildings such as the engine shed, water tower and skittle alley in Casinoparken, as well as a Catholic cemetery.

The company Skyllbergs Bruk was given mill privileges in 1646 by Queen 6

Kristina, and is designated as an area of national interest for cultural heritage conservation. This is home to the historic Skyllbergsvallen sports grounds, as well as a manor house, industrial buildings, private residences and agricultural buildings. Here you will find a living history of the mill.

Add colour to your day

Watercolours, oil paintings, textiles, sculptures, glass, ceramics... Art exhibitions and local crafts have a long tradition in Askersund. The summer art season begins with the Art round trip, where about a hundred artists open up their homes and studios to visitors.

The art gallery in Askersund’s harbour warehouse is filled with various exhibitions during the summer, and Sjöängen Art Gallery has something to offer all year round. In addition, many creative

artists and craftspeople will happily open up their studios for you.

Please visit the culture pages at www.visitaskersund.se.

The great food

The joy of creation in Askersund is expressed not least in the artisan food.

Local food producers offer high-quality products in small shops, farm shops, restaurants, and cafés. They grow organic vegetables and tasty tomatoes, they make exquisite chocolate and freshly brewed beer, and they serve Lake Vättern’s finest char and much more.

You’ll find restaurants and cafés both in town and on the countryside. Make sure not to miss the autumn’s great food event Matresan (A Journey of Foods), an amazing opportunity to discover the unique food and meet the passionate people behind it.

Treat yourself to a package trip!

Sjöängen Cultural Centre Right next to the promenade, you’ll find Askersund’s new cultural centre, Sjöängen. An exciting venue for cultural experiences all year round, and a meeting place for young and old from near and far. Welcome!

Sjöängen is vibrating with life. The concert hall “Stora salongen” offers year-round concerts as well as theatre and dance performances, featuring both national and local artists.

You can also enjoy the latest feature films and live broadcasts from major opera stages on Närke’s biggest cinema screen. Conferences, lectures, and fairs are regularly organised – Sjöängen provides a venue for both meetings and experiences.

A different view every day

In 2023, a new art gallery was established, which is open all year round, with free admission and various exhibits.

Beautiful and memorable artwork adorns

Sjöängen, both inside and out. From the café and the library’s magazine corner, you can enjoy amazing views of the lake and the beach promenade.

Once you pass the archipelago, you can glimpse the Stjernsund Castle with Askersund as a picturesque backdrop.

Do you like the water but haven’t quite found your sea legs? With RV parks in scenic surroundings, charming cabins near the water, and hotels overlooking the archipelago or the harbour, you can easily find your own special spot from which to enjoy the water mirrors.

Come experience Sweden’s best hidden archipelago and the many small lakes!

The archipelago of northern Lake Vättern is a haven for fishing enthusiasts. The crystal clear water is home to a large number of species, from the old pike lurking among the reeds to the lively perch and the delicious char. Being one of the largest lakes in the country, Lake Vättern offers free fishing with hand-held equipment.You are allowed to fish from a boat provided it does not move by engine power, oars or other means. If you stand on the shore, all you need to do is throw your line out and get started.

More ambitious fishermen, wishing to fish from a moving boat, need to buy a fishing license for trolling and inquire about the limits for the fishing rights in different areas before setting out. If you want to try your luck on the waves of Lake Vättern proper, fishing is free 300 metres from land or any islands. However, make sure you find out about clos-ed areas of the lake if you plan to be fishing between September 15th and December 31st.You can also catch crayfish here during August, but remember to find out about the regulations before placing your crayfish trap at your favourite spot.

LakeVättern – an unpredictable lake

Stay safe! Keep in mind that Lake Vättern is not a lake to take for granted.

You have to pay attention to signs of the weather changing. The weather here can shift from calm to gale unusually quickly, turning calm waters into stormy sea. Do not go out on Lake Vättern if you are unsure of the weather!

Stjernsund Castle Keep nature clean

Open 18 May – 8 September 2024

Many are those who find their way out into the Swedish nature, realising how many great spots there are to visit. However, knowing what you can and cannot do in nature reserves, by lakes, or on forest trails is not always easy. Here are three tips on how to make your experience more sustainable.

1 2

Stay on the footbridge! It keeps your feet dry while protecting nature at the same time.

Don’t litter! Litter in nature spoils the nature experience and is a direct danger to the animals that live there. Everything you bring with you needs to go home with you!

3

Wash your dishes smarter! Wash it some distance away from the watercourse, cleaning them over land and not directly in the water.

The ground breaks down dish soap and food scraps more easily. Use degradable dish soap.

Scenic overnight accommodations Bergsgården, Närkesberg GPS: 58.90492, 15.24392

Askersund offers RV parks for all tastes.

You can opt to stay centrally, just a short walk from Askersund’s old quarters.

Gaze out across the harbour from “Askersunds Citycamp & Gästhamn” (RV Park & Marina) where small town life, with its wonderful activities, shopping, and select events welcome you all year round. Or enjoy the archipelago by northern Lake Vättern from the beachside RV park of Aspa Boat Club. Rent a kayak and glide along the islands, or discover the enchanted forests of Tiveden by bike.

If mining history is what you’re after, you’ll find it by Knalla Mine, Lönns Kurva and Mariedamm RV parks.You

can walk around among historic buildings and visit the exciting mining museum or abandoned mines. Or are you in the mood for a round of golf? Then head to Askersund Golf Club by Kärraviken Marina in Åmmeberg.

Our overnight accommodations in scenic surroundings are a simpler alternative to our camping pitches. Here you can spend the night close to nature if you don’t feel the need for services and amenities but still want to feel safe and welcome.

And don’t forget to pack your bathing suit and hiking boots, because in Askersund, you’re never far from the nearest swim area or hiking trail. Welcome!

Developing in progress with support from Leader Mellansjölandet and EU agriculture fund.

Access to free latrine emptying in Askersund.

“Allemansrätten” The right of common access is something you use when walking, canoeing or even just sit on a rock.The right of common access is a unique opportunity to all of us to roam freely in the Swedish outdoors. But we also have to show responsibility towards nature and animal life and be considerate to the needs of landowners as well as other visitors.Try to minimise any disruption or disturbance as you move around the countryside. For more information pick up a leaflet about Allemansrätten (the right of common access) at VisitAskersund Turistinformation or see www.naturvardsverket.se/allemansratten 26
